Summary | "The Riddle of the Spinning Wheel" by Mary E. Hanshew and Thomas W. Hanshew is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story begins with Mr. Maverick Narkom, Superintendent of Scotland Yard, interrupted by a distressed visitor, Miss Maud Duggan, who seeks his help regarding her father’s life, which she believes is in danger due to his wife, Lady Paula. The narrative involves elements of family intrigue, mystery, and a potential murder plot against Sir Andrew Duggan, adding intrigue to the familial and societal dynamics at play. At the start of the novel, Narkom is approached by Miss Duggan, who brings alarming news about her father, claiming that his life is threatened by Lady Paula, his second wife. She articulates her fears that Paula is plotting against Sir Andrew to ensure her son Cyril's inheritance. As Maud narrates events from Aygon Castle, tension builds around the family dynamics, including her brother Ross’s strained relationship with their father over his electrical innovations at the castle. The opening chapters create a rich tapestry of suspense, setting up a complex web of relationships laden with secrets, ambitions, and the threat of violence, inviting readers into a world where personal loyalties clash against darker motives.
